Why is Sentry asking for write/read access for my repos?

GitHub requires write access in order to create new issues for the GitHub issue tracking integration. The current OAuth APIs limit the ability to fine tune permissions which is why you see Sentry asking for those permissions for both GitHub SSO and for adding repositories to your organization to utilize the Releases feature with commit data (even if you aren't using the issue tracking integration). We only use the write access for issue tracking.

We will be utilizing the integrations api soon to address this concern.
